DESCRIPTION

The WirelessExtensions is an API allowing you manipulate Wireless LAN
networking interfaces. It is composed of a variety of tools and
configuration files. It is documented in more detail in the Linux
Wireless LAN Howto.
The WirelessTools are used to change the configuration of wireless LAN
networking interfaces on the fly, to get their current configuration,
to get statistics and diagnose them. They are described in their own
man page, see below for references.
Wirelessconfiguration is specific to each Linux distribution. This man
page will contain in the future the configuration procedure for a few
common distributions. For the time being, check the file
DISTRIBUTIONS.txt included with the Wireless Tools package.
